ClosingCorp Adds Dave Petro as Head of Sales and Business Development

ClosingCorp has announced that Dave Petro has joined the company as head of sales and business development, where he will lead the ClosingCorp sales organization, develop customer acquisition strategies, and be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with leading loan origination systems and industry settlement service portals. He will report directly to Brian Benson, ClosingCorp’s chief executive officer.

Petro joins ClosingCorp from Accenture where he was primarily responsible for developing outsourcing and consulting engagements with several super-regional banks. Prior to that, he held a series of senior sales and account management positions at CoreLogic and its former parent, First American. These posts included: vice president of national sales for CoreLogic's top 75 clients and as a national client director, managing five of CoreLogic’s top 30 clients; senior vice president, strategic accounts for First American and senior vice president, national sales manager for First American Equity Loan Servicers. Petro graduated with a degree in industrial engineering from Youngstown State University and has an MBA from Cleveland State University.

“Dave has a deep understanding of SaaS sales management within the financial services space, and the use of information services to drive results in the mortgage, banking, and title insurance arenas. He also has a well-deserved reputation for being a client-focused, consultative sales leader,” said Benson. “His arrival reflects ClosingCorp’s continued assent and evolution as a critical component to fee compliance and third-party risk management in the mortgage industry. Dave is joining us at a perfect time: we nearly doubled our revenues as clients prepared for TRID, and this year, we expect to leverage that momentum and the introduction of exciting new capabilities to grow at an even faster pace.”
